There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
I have been truly inspired by our getting to know you talks and our guest speakers this past year. The sharing and the honesty and the humor have touched my heart and encouraged me.
I would like to thank all our members for their commitment to Probus throughout the pandemic. I would like to thank you for your courage to return to our in-person meetings. I would like to thank you for inviting your friends to come to meetings and join our club. It has been wonderful to hear your laughter and see your faces once again.
I would like to thank our amazing and devoted management team for all their commitment to keep our club positive and forward thinking. They are Jane VanPatter, Judy Hollinger, Sandra Smith, Deb Moss, Elizabeth Brekelmans, Geri Shearer, Ann Gun-Munro, Sharron Poole, Chris Hannon.
It has been both a joy and a privilege to be your president for the past two years, 2021 – 2023. I now pass the baton to Jane VanPatter who is your in-coming president for September.

3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers.
10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?" 1
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded. 1
4. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on. 1
5. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"

17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east or west or north or south
19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.

21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.
